We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.

我們剛搬家，我整個上午都在忙。我想把我的房間搞整齊一點。這并不容易，因為我有一千多本書。更糟糕的是，房間也小，所以我暫時把書放在了地上。

At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.

這時，這些書占據(jù)了地上空間的每英尺，我必須踩著它們進出屋子。不一會，我妹妹幫我搬一個舊書柜上樓來。她進到我的房間，看到地上全是書，驚呆了。

This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen, she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, You dont need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!

這時我見過最漂亮的地毯，她說。她看了一會然后說，你根本不需要書架了。你可以在閑暇時坐著閱讀你的地毯！
